Another Lazy Meal

I woke up this Tuesday morning and I used the bathroom and the first thing I did was weigh myself in the morning. This is the usual morning ritual as I try to weigh myself in a set manner. Today, I weighed 187. I don't usually count it as official until the end of the week. If I weighed 187 on Saturday morning, then it becomes official.

I've been feeling really lazy lately, which is good, because I have easy vegetarian options. I really like Morning Star's Chik Patties. I bought these at Red Apple, but you can find them anywhere: Safeway, Whole Foods, etc.

There are two kinds of real chicken patties out there. The kind that is not breaded and has grill marks and the kind that is circular and breaded. This vegetarian version is the breaded kind, obviously from the box's picture. Normally, I would put it between two pieces of whole wheat bread and add a slice of swiss cheese with mayonaisse or mustard (23 grams of protein). This morning, I felt like having two patties with some leftover brown rice with a cup of black tea (Organic Keemun from Cost Plus) and half a cup of milk (24 grams of protein total).

I know there are some vegetarians out there who don't like anything shaped like an animal product, but I'm not one of them. This brand actually has the mouth feel of an actual breaded chicken patty and you could probably fool any omnivore with it. If it makes you feel impish, go ahead and try to fool some omnivores!
